Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Intervention to Halt USAID Disbursement Order

The Trump administration has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to stay a federal judge's order mandating the immediate release of up to $2 billion in USAID humanitarian aid. The request follows a ruling by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who stated the administration had not complied with a prior directive to lift a freeze on foreign assistance through the U.S. Agency for International Development. The administration argues the judge's order constitutes judicial overreach.
